Cape police said a white male in his 40s, driving an older-model Mercedes, drove up to the stop and motioned to the girl to come over.

She didn't, and after getting on the bus and spotting the car again, snapped this picture. At school, she contacted an officer to explain what happened.

"Somebody was very specific when they came around to this area," said Shawn Whitmore. "My kids won't be on and off the bus unless I'm standing here."

Indeed, Whitmore's children are dropped off in the same spot where the incident occurred. By Tuesday afternoon, he was standing much closer.

"It's not something we are used to," he said. "And now our kids can't get off or get on the bus without someone approaching, it's too close to home."

Police suggest parents talk to their kids about stranger danger, and they remind people who live near bus stops or who meet their kids at bus stops to be aware of surroundings and watch for any suspicious persons or vehicles.

If anything is out of the ordinary, Cape police can be reached at (239) 574-3223 or 911.
